Each of the Jets’ three imports scored over 20 points. Daishon Knight recorded 22 points and 10 assists but shot just 8-of-25 from the field, Kuran Iverson had 25 points, six rebounds and five assists (9-of-18 FG) and Brandon Lucas scored 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting and 4-of-7 from three.

It was Manawatu’s hot 3-point shooting that kept them in the game (15-of-31) and the overall contributions from the aforementioned players.

The Jets, despite some solid outings lately, drop to 1-6 on the season while the Saints move to 4-1.
